Host Depot Selects Category 5 Hurricane Rated 1Vault Networks to Safeguard Server Infrastructure


FORT LAUDERDALE, FL‹APRIL 17, 2009


‹Host Depot, Inc. (http://www.blogger.com/www.HostDepot.com) a leading hosted solutions firm located in Coral Springs, FL, has selected 1Vault Networks (http://www.blogger.com/www.1vault.net), a secure colocation facility, to safeguard its powerful server infrastructure.


³Host Depot had managed all of its server infrastructure in its own facility, but decided to switch to our secure location, which not only offered disaster security and redundant power, but also proved more cost effective in the areas of cooling, power and Internet services,² said Joe Leuci, Senior Vice President of Sales for 1Vault Networks.


Clients who colocate their servers at 1Vault are protected from catastrophic events such as loss of power, network outage or natural disaster. The 66,000-square-foot World Class Data Center is Category 5 hurricane-rated and also provides businesses and governmental agencies with hosted IT services and disaster recovery suites.


Host Depot has migrated their infrastructure to the 22,000 square-foot, raised floor 1Vault Data Center that is monitored for ideal temperature and humidity levels throughout. The Data Center features 24/7 monitoring and protection systems that immediately alert personnel in the event of an alarm. In addition to redundant power to ensure uninterrupted service to its customers, Host Depot also secured redundant and diverse 1Vault Networks Internet connectivity.


"With this move to 1Vault, we are setting the stage for the future of Host Depot. Not only will we have better capacity to grow our platform but we'll be able to do it more efficiently and with better reliability for the customer," said Mark Erskine, President and CEO of Host Depot.


The world class data center, located in Fort Lauderdale, can withstand any disruption caused by natural disaster, system failure or human intervention.


The company¹s comprehensive plan covers business continuity, disaster recovery suites and seats, high-speed IP connectivity, self-contained power, support services, and SAS 70 Type II certification, Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA audit compliance certifications.
